MoRRIsTowN, May THE May term of
courts commenced here last Tuesday. The
most important action of the Morris County
Grand Jury at its last session was the in
dictment of Patrick Quinn for the murder
of his wife. The prisoner was arraigned in
court on Wednesday before Judge Magic.
He entered a plea of not guilty and his
trial was set down for Monday, May 23d
Quinn and his wife lived at Scrub Oaks, a
small settlement near Lover. One day in
February last the couple had been carous-
ing all day. When they got home at even
tide they were both the worse for the
liquor they had imbibed. They began to
quarrel, and words led to most brutal as
sault on his wife by QuinR, from the effects
of which she died. The evidence against
Quinn is purely circumstantial, but of such
strorg nature that it is said by the knew
ing ones that he will have to struggle to
and may consider himself in greet luck if
he saves his neck.

romorre W.. Election at Morrlstowr.

MoRRIsTowN, Msy THE charter clec-
ton to be held here on Monday promises
to he of unusual interest. There will be
three tickets in the field, the Prohibition
ticket being the third. Although the
Prohibitionlsts have trotted out full
ticket they are very weak at the polls and
their influence will count for little more
than nix. The officers to be chosen are a
Recorder, an Alderman and two members
of the Common Council. The present
council is Republican but 1t is generally
conceded even in Republican circles that
the Democrats will carry everything. Six
School Commissioners will also be elected
and the Board, when organized, will
choose two School Trustees. Mayor
Wertz's term does not expire TIL next
Spring.

In its issue OF March 25th the Redfield
Journal announces its conversion to the
proposition thar Dakota must help il
self out of it's territorial condition and to
do this must take some immediate steps
towards statehood. After reciting the.
causes which have brought about this
conclusion, the journal says:
Is there God in Israeli If there be,
and If Dakota be Israel, the people OF
Dakota must bear in mind the OLD raax--
i'm that the Lord helps those who help
themselves, and they must grid their
loins for the inevitable political conflict.
The Journal believes in striking in NO
uncertain manner. 1t believes there is o
way out of the difficulty under whlch
DakotaIans are laboring. 1t is ready,
however, to join any movement looking
to the admission OF Dakota, the support
Of which would not be inconsistent with
4 manhood, and which cannot possibly
makS olr condition worse-even if the
course decided upon by the majority be
not such as We could recommend.
i Let us first decide the question oil
territorial division and then unite upon
| some policy that will force the Issue up
on congress in such manner as to pre-.
clude the possibility OF dodging the
matter. We might as well know first az

Cause of the Bussey Bridge Accident.
Boston, March 23-At the hearing be-
fore the railroad commission as to the
cause of the accident on the Boston and
Providence railroad, Master Mechanic
Richards, of the railroad company, gave
his theory. He thought. he said, that
the engine had broken rail some dis
tanoe from the abutment. The tender
passed the break all right, but turned
the end of the broken rail somewhat, so
that the trucks of the first Car were di-
vided and bent the rail ap. The forward
truck of the second car caught in the
end of the rail, causing the shock that
swept the forward truck to the rear,
checking that car go that the third car
telescoped it, end by the same shock
breaking the bridge and causing it's fall.
The end of the rail had evidently shat.
tered the forward brake beam on the
forward truck ON the second car and then
struck the axle, gouging piece ont OF
it as it turned. The rail was torn from
its spikes by catching in the trucks and
was carried along to where it was found.
In his opinion the. blow on the axle was
the cause OF the damage and derailment

Relative to the surprising extrava.
gance of the last legislature the Fargo
Republican says:
The truth is the Legislature had little
idea of the aggregate amount that was
being appropriated. Even the chairman
of the house appropriations committee,
Mr.. Berry, of Clark county, said to the
writer on the last day but one of the
session. in answer to an inquiry: 81
haven't any idea what the aggregate oi
appropriations is. Perhaps my CLERK
can give you the information you wish ,
but the clerk was no better informed
than his chief, and members who were
approached almost invariably responded

The governor now accounts for the ex-
traordlnary appropriations of the last
legislature with the allegation that there
was large deficiency to meet. This as.
sertion is disproved by the figures which
show that the deficiency did not exceed
forty thousand dollars, The records OF
the past show that there is always de-
ficiency to provide for and that the late
Legislature confronted nothing unusual

Consignments of foreign steel rails,
